Hi, I'm an admin for a group called Disability History, and we'd love to have this added to the group!

Dear pennylrichardsca, Marjorie Lawrence even danced the Seven Veils in Strauss's opera Salome when she was young. Another great Australian operatic soprano with a disability (multiple sclerosis or MS) was Florence Austral, who later taught at the Conservatorium of Music, Newcastle, Australia.

"I would definitely not call Sister Kenny the founder of modern practice physical therapy," Mofat told The O&P EDGE . "Her contribution to the treatment of patients with poliomyelitis was unique, but controversial in some ways.... A combination of her treatment techniques...led many to change their approach to the treatment of patients with this often devastating paralysis. Her theories were applied only to the management of polio. Although she did not recognize polio as a neurological disease, her muscle re-education techniques continue to be used in some forms in individuals with lower-motor-neuron lesions, of which polio is one."

The New York City garbage strike was put down by a massive hiring of strikebreakers, but outbursts of resistance continued until the end of November, as documented by stories in The New York Times. Cleanup efforts dragged on into December. "Strikers Plead to be Taken Back" New York Times story, November 21, 1911: query.nytimes.com/mem/archive-free/pdf?res=9A02E3DC1231E2...
